Westminster Tea Rooms in Sefton

very caring and kind staff as my Mum in a wheelchair - lovely tea, cakes and sandwiches and very good service

We visit Southport to see relatives and the Westminster Tearooms is the absolute highlight of any trip to town (and we never tell our in laws that we pop in for a snack)We love the whole experience; the decor, the way the tables are laid, all of the lovely silver and, above all, the delightful staff.I had the scone with jam and cream and my other half had the Welsh rarebit - both beautifully presented and very tasty.The tea was lovely too.This is a real experience and gives a sense of times gone by, an absolute gem.Thank you

We had no expectations before our visit. We enjoyed it very much. The food in both our courses was uncomplicated but very well presented and delicious. It was Saturday lunch time. The front of house staff were efficient, attentive and friendly. We were made to feel welcome. If we return to Southport, a place in steep decline, the Westminster will our priority.

Excellent Fresh Tasty Food..great service..lovely atmosphere..with a smile,we visit on a regular basis,we can’t resist the fabulous soup,normally followed by a sandwich then for a treat a lovely home made trifle..it’s such a treat to be able to visit and relax knowing that all our food will be fresh and tasty,it’s a lovely tea room and everyone very pleasant,well worth a visit ,

We popped in for a hot drink, but were tempted by the scones too, which were excellent, and were served on a beautiful tiered cake stand with butter, cream and jam. The options for full afternoon tea with sandwiches and cakes looked fabulous, and we would have ordered that if we had not eaten lunch so recently. Will definitely go back another time for the full experience - this is the way afternoon tea SHOULD be done!

Met friends for a day out in Southport and we were looking for somewhere to have lunch and spotted Westminster Tea Rooms. What a stroke of luck!The experience is rather like stepping back in time to a bygone era. Wood panelled walls, waitresses in smart black and white uniforms, china tea cups, gleaming tea pots (with real tea and a tea strainer!), crisp linen napkins - everything just so. Even some 1940's music playing softly in the background.My friend and I opted for the all day breakfast, whilst our wives chose the fish pie and ham salad. After a short wait our meals arrived, beautifully presented and plentiful. The food was absolutely delicious, as confirmed by our empty plates at the end.

Fabulous tea room (rather more than a tea room though) with great food and service. The place was very busy and the staff coped really well. A must if you are in Southport.

The welcome is warm, the menu has not only extensive vegan choices but also extensive vegan children’s menu options! Jackpot! The team went out their way to make us feel welcome with our baby and toddler. The decor was captivating for our baby - especially the Tiffany lamps and the chandeliers. We were having a challenging day and the Westminster tea room team saved the day with their wonderful food. We were so happy to have lunch here. Thank you.

Visited for afternoon tea, service was great, food was fresh and tasty and the whole experience was great. I can recommend the Duchess afternoon tea and the fish pie was very good, as one of our group didn't want afternoon tea. Would definitely go again.

What a lovely experience. 1920's music, real tea not from a bag and a yummy breakfast. A great find and would recommend it, for a nice breakfast with a difference

So refreshing to have a meal or afternoon tea in such surroundings. I had a delicious and generous coronation chicken wrap and it was nice to bring an out of town friend to a place which isn’t run of the mill. The cheerful staff work so hard, much appreciated.As someone upthread stated, it could do with a little freshening up (not updating!) I’m not sure if it’s the carpet, but there is always a slightly musty scent on the premises.I think a new carpet, in keeping, would make this place perfection.

This is not just food, this is an experience. Take time to relax and go back to a gentler era, where service was great, and food was an adventure. That is what afternoon tea at Westminster Tea Rooms is. And all at a reasonable price. Long live Westminster Tea Rooms.

Like a step back to when service was at its best. I could not fault it, our Vegan Grandaughter was amazed with the variety of the Vegan menu section and was spoilt for choice. Al Bowly singing in the background complemented the decor and our Grandaughter admitted she would not have normally entered a place like this with its 40’s feel but thoroughly enjoyed her meal.Well done.

Visited today for the first time with daughter we are both vegans they have a large menu and afternoon tea option. Clean friendly value for money delicious . Can not wait to go back!

This was the first time visiting Southport visiting from Birmingham. I came across this beautiful tea room because I really fancied afternoon tea. And what a tea room. I loved the old fashioned decor and the old time music. Now let's talk about the afternoon tea. The best afternoon tea I've had and such a reasonable price. The cherry scones were baked fresh u could tell. The mini cakes beautiful. The sandwiches omg amazing. You could tell the quality of the produce. My partner had the steak baguette and said it was the best baguette he had. If u in Southport this tea room is really worth the visit. I can't wait to go back and visit this tea room again. And the staff are amazing. The gentleman who served me was so lovely. Really love this tea room.

Visited for lunch today. Its a beautiful old fashioned tea room with staff dressed very smartly. Served tea promptly with a beautiful silver tea pot and milk jug and a lovely china cup. The staff were very friendly. Got a shock when the meals came. The portions were huge. I had ham egg and chips and peas. The peas were in a separate dish and there was a huge side salad on the plate which I felt was unnecessary. Yes I know it is a ridiculous thing to complain about! The food was delicious, especially the chips, just about ate half of the food and left feeling full. Will definitely return but would just order a snack next time.

What a super little restaurant, I went for afternoon tea, what superb sandwiches, you get a choice very fresh, the cakes also and desserts were also fresh and varied, tea leaves served in a silver teapot and China cups. Also i had a small bottle of prosecco. Very reasonable price too. I am planning on going again very soon..You cannot book for afternoon tea, but if you arrive at about 2 your wait should be very short..and I will say is definitely worth a little wait..

Every time I visit Southport, I look forward to coming here. Each time I’ve been the food and service is excellent! It’s such a pleasure, especially if you have high tea, it’s like going back in time. Would highly recommend!

Really enjoyed my food today, all round really nice experience. Will definitely be returning. Thanks again!

We visited Westminster tea rooms on an incredibly busy hot day, but the staff where amazing especially David our waiter. Nothing was to much trouble & the food was excellent. Would definitely recommend & will absolutely return soon. It's like stepping back in time, an incredibly relaxing experience

If you want to dine in a bygone era of pure opulence, then this is the place for you. Not cheep, but the food is outstanding, best breakfast I've ever had for sure.

Fantastic afternoon tea. We visited today after trying on several occasions but due to the lockdowns in 2020 we were unable to until today. Oh my it was worth the wait, the staff were all so polite , professional and friendly. The atmosphere was lovely and the food was absolutely amazing. We had an afternoon tea with a lovely selection of sandwiches, amazing cakes and the most delicious warm scone and plenty of hot tea. 100% recommendation to anyone looking for a fab afternoon tea . Thank you so much. We will be back

Just having afternoon tea here£19.99 stuffed now.Sandwiches freshly made & tea came in a huge pot. See photos for what you get. Really kind & efficient staff. Covid secure but not OTT.Well worth a visit

Today my partner and I spent a perfect hour and a half enjoying two delicious afternoon teas,really good service,in such beautiful surroundings,so nice in there with an olde world feeling,we have been before and we'll be back,Thank you Westminster tea rooms

How we had waited for our favourite place in Southport to re open , and what a joy when we got to enjoy the superb food and the great atmosphere again .It was as if you had never been gone , service and food , as always the very best Southport has to offer, we increased our visits as we had missed you so much . The Westminster really is a wonderful journey back in time with its unique atmosphere and attention to detail , supplemented by its very extensive, excellent menu , and great staff . Sadly Lockdown has stopped us all in our tracks again. Best wishes to Ray , Debbie and staff , hopefully we will be enjoying Christmas afternoon tea with you again , very soon .

Yippee and boo hoo, was so glad I got up here on Tuesday, very pleased you were open and sad to see your closing again, hope all goes well and you reopen soon. Wow,and wow what a beautiful tree, the best looking thing on Lord street. Thank you so much for sharing the name of your lovely waitress,I was so pleased she was still her funny, witty self even behind the mask. I had the Welsh with egg and it was mouth watering, I need your chefs to come and cook for me at home I just loved sitting there watching everything that goes on, was so comfortable very relaxing and was great to take my mind of the horribleness that's going on outside.great food. Great surroundings and your waitress and waiter worked great as a team, keep up the great work

Well what can I say about this place.. how have I missed this all these years I don't know. I came in on Tuesday 3rd November. First of all what a spectacular, beautiful Christmas tree! As I walked in, the lovely atmosphere and surroundings with the tree at these uncertain times was wonderful. My wife and I could not stop praising the place to each other and will do to friends. We had a lovely two course meal, the food was outstanding! Enjoyed every mouthful and could of carried on eating more. The customer service from the waitress who served us was second to none. Even though she was very busy, she still had time to answer our questions, laugh and joke. I fully enjoyed the whole visit. A credit to the owners. Will definitely return again.

Step through the door and into a surprise. Greeted by a suited young man and shown to a table.White linen table cloths and napkins.Choices made for my wife and myself I sat back and absorbed the quaintness of Westminster tea rooms.Silverware in abundance,china cups and saucers and real tea leaves.An appropriate Westminster chime clock played its chimes every 15 minutes. Expecting Charles Dickens or Sherlock Holmes to enter anytime our food arrived; teas in said silverware together with sticky toffee puddings and ice cream. Pure pleasure!What a find! Whilst we were only having snacks, breakfasts and other meals are available.Afternoon teas seem popular judging by other diners Not recommendedfor those on a diet!Thank you for such a lovely experience.

We visited today,a lovely tea room with lovely friendly staff!PLUS fab fresh hot tasty food,never let down visit after visit!no matter what we order from Sunday dinner to Welsh rarebit or yummy soups!my favourite desert is their trifle mmm ,keep on doing what your doing guys it’s fab,Thankyou xxx

Absolutely one of my favourite places for afternoon tea.& Sundaylunch is just really good. visited quite a few times and really enjoyed every time .it's just a lovely place to go with friends or like myself take my mum .for a nice few hours out with good quality food .staff are lovely and always busy but that doesn't stop them having time for customers .I cannot wait for another visit after all this with the covid virus . just be nice to get there and forget all this horribleness that we have all had to go through .I am not sure when it's opening again have rang them a few times since Friday but unfortunately no answer .but hopefully won't be too long and then I will definitely be back there for some delicious food

Westminster Tea Rooms is exceptional, we had afternoon tea last Sunday and it was superb. Silver tableware, China cups and saucers. This was the best afternoon tea I have ever had. I was there with three friends and we all loved it. Was in the day before to, their toasted currant loaf was to die for. You have to pay Westminster Tea Rooms to experience the superb ambience from both staff, food and surroundings. The staff are fantastic and are a credit to the Owner, may your business prosper for many years to come. We will definitely be back.

Fabulous step back in time retro tea room. Whether its a breakfast or a Sunday roast the food is simply amazing quality.

Entering the tea rooms is like stepping back in time, wood panelled walls, chandeliers, interesting lamps and ornaments and old time music.On being seated we were given menus. The choice is very extensive with a wide variety of breakfast options available all day, sandwiches, wraps, toasties, soup, salads, main meals and afternoon tea. Several of the dishes can be made as a vegetarian option and a vegan section is also on the menu.Three of us were eating and opted for cheese sandwich and chips, breakfast omlette and a vegetarian version of coronation chicken in a wrap with side of chips. Two coffees and one tea. The cappachino failed to deliver as it looked the same as the flat white.The food!!! The coronation wrap came with a small side salad and coleslaw. It was wonderful. I don't usually get much choice due to being very fussy with food so it was fantastic to try something different for a change and I loved it. The chips for one would have fed all three of us. My friends omlette was basically all the breakfast items in an omlette which came with thin sliced potatoes. She declared it was the best omlette she had EVER eaten. Stuffed and very happy is the word. Our bill came to £39 so not the cheapest but worth every penny. Well done Westminster tea rooms.One point to note it is CASH or cheque only, which meant us scambling around to get enough cash.

Great for a solo diners and friends gathering this little restaurant specialises in afternoon teas and light lunches. My afternoon tea was silver service with silver tea pot, cake stand and China tea sets. Sandwiches with choice fillings Devon warmed Scones with clotted cream and strawberry preserve. Lovely exquisite mini cakes to finish served with whipped cream a luxury indeed. I enjoyed every minute of it and if you want to pay a bit more there was sparkling wine served with it great as a special treat on Mother's Day or any special occasion, for me it was a nice relaxing thing to do on a shopping afternoon

Always welcomed on arrival by friendly staff. Tea served in a lovely silver teapot, milk jug, sugar bowl with sugar cubes...the little things matter!Enjoyed a delicious toasted sandwich. Stilton and grape on brown toast. With a side salad. Tables set on white linen tablecloths. White linen napkins also.Managed to make room for Victoria Sponge cake.Always a lovely experience to dine here. Thank you,Westminster Tea Rooms

We have been eating here regularly since our retirement 13 years ago. We loved the choice of food in the past - in fact, spoilt for choice. However, it's a while since we visited due to health issues. Visited today. The two young gentleman waiters were extremely polite & attentive & the meal arrived quickly. But I couldn't find my bacon/chicken salad on the menu, so I had scampi etc. My husband had (often eaten) steak & kidney pie. But what disappointed us most were the chips. They used to be chunky, but now we found they were thin & rather greasy. Are they "frozen" ? Also, the decor has started to look a bit "tired". Has there been a change of management or are they cutting corners.

I have written and re-written this review several time and the only way to truly say this is:To the owners and management of this establishment I implore you to please disregard a review I know is coming your way. This review regards another customer you had this evening who I feel has been extremely petty. They complained first that their black pudding wasn’t cook well which I contest definitely was, from my position I was dark and crispy, secondly that their eggs were over cooked which when asked if they would like fresh cooking they stated at least one, the chef kindly cooked two fresh eggs which once again from my position they were perfect, you could literally see the yolk giggling as your patient and kind waitress carried them over to then be barked at that she wanted “the white to be hard and the yolk soft” this could not be a more adept description of the two sets of eggs this customer had received.To top this whole encounter of this rude customer then stated that your chef should go back to cooking school. If this person is to leave a review on here I hope they read this and understand this is no way to speak to or about a person and I suggest that you search for and attend a school regarding manners and etiquette. To also leave a note on the table saying you will be leaving a review is appalling (yes, I saw you writing that out disgraceful).I cannot sing the praises of this establishment enough, the food is lovely, real home cooking ant the staff always make you feel welcome, I am proud to return time and time again.Thank you for reading my ramblings and taking what I have into consideration.

Met at door, taken to the best table and relaxed with a cup of tea before ordering our meal.One of my favourites is jacket potatoes with a garlic mushroom sauce and salad.Scone with creme And jam to follow.I like the payment system too. No water at our table with the bill ( dreaded machine)Pay cash at the desk. No rush, no hassle and a winner for us ...it’s all vegan ...so pleased we can reduce our footprint and help the climate.Go see the huge menu.

Just had a pot of leaf tea, coffee and a enormous piece of fruit loaf It was a delightful hour spent in a traditional tea room with an extensive traditional and home prepared menu. Just perfect

After many visits to the Westminster Tea Rooms over several years I must share some of my photographs which I made PUBLIC, complete with their respective viewing figures. I had the pleasure to meet and speak to the owner of this Fantasic venu before 08.00 am one morning, regarding a certain Milk Jug that had caught my eye, he was a truly remarkable man and I wish Jim and the business Continued Success. You Derserve it!Always a pleasure to Dine here.

Had a wonderful lunch today. Did miss the waitress who served us last time always love the food. Lovely surroundings.

A really Charming little tea room. Warm cosy with very friendly and welcoming staff.A lovely small afternoon tea of cheese on toast and scones with a bountiful teapot. Tasty and good.Highly recommended for a treat, but there are so many good things on this menu that it is very difficult to choose and is suitable for anyone including veggies and vegans as well as gluten free.

A fantastic high tea. Staff were more than helpful with the vegan in the family. The pancakes with berries and vegan ice cream were out of this world. Thank you.

An absolutely wonderful lunch in the middle of Southport. Great food served in a lovely wood panelled tea room. Special praise for the Welsh rarebit and hotpot. Thoroughly recommend.

Great relaxing atmosphere and service. Excellent Gluten-free selection; meals and snacks. Cash or Cheque payments only.

Beautiful tea room with crystal chandeliers and wood panelled walls. Friendly staff, speedy service, and the vegan scone and preserves were gorgeous.

They do a mushroom starter to die for, in light batter with a dip and side salad. A bigger portion than most places. Lovely. Beef hotpot and chicken casserole were also really nice. The food is always lovely here and recommended, though the service was a touch below standard on this particular day. Dressed and decorated in the style of yesteryear with oldies music.

If you’re vegan or not, this beautiful tea room serves the best scones ever. Crystal chandeliers adorn the ceiling with wood panelled walls and staff dressed in traditional tea room attire. I opted for the vegan tea and scones whilst my family plumped for the non vegan scones, wow, light and fluffy scones served with butter, jam and cream. The vegan cream is delicious. Everything is served in silver pots and china tea stands. It’s a big yes from us all. We didn’t have Sunday lunch but what was being served looked amazing. We will definitely return.

Parked outside for a nominal sum. Looked great with its chandeliers. My idea of what a tea room should look like. Attended to by a smart uniformed waiter who showed us to a table and took our order from a vast menu.The food was freshly cooked. It tasted as good as it looked. I had the Lancashire Hotpot and it was one of the best I have eaten That's high praise from a Yorkshire man!The other meals were just as good. Followed by rice pudding with jam! Lovely. Service was great and everyone was pleased.Next time we are in Southport we will call again.

what a fantastic place we stumbled across while In Southport. This tea room is well worth a visit and with a very nostalgic feel to it and a great vegan / vegetarian menu. All food home cooked and fantastic quality.The waiters were very attentive and knowledgeable.lovely pot of tea

We had an amazing afternoon tea wonderful ambiance with polite and friendly staff who retained the atmosphere of a Victorian tea rooms.

After a walk around Southport shops we stopped here quite late in the day for a cuppa and cake. The tearoom was lovely - like stepping back in time. The tea was served in a silver pot with proper china tea cups. The fruit loaf was delicious - served toasted with a portion of butter. The tearoom was quiet with period music playing in the background. Despite it being late in the day we weren’t hurried by either the waitress or waiter (who looked very smart by the way) who after serving us just left us to enjoy our cake and cuppa. I think we both agreed we’d love to return soon to try one of the afternoon teas that are served here. A very pleasant experience - thank you.

Expensive but you get full waitress service and silver tea pots and china, good range of cakes but they were nothing special. It was very busy so clearly popular.

We had friends visiting from out of town, and having been here previously, thought it was a great place to impress them with. We all had the good old fashioned afternoon tea, which has a great selection of sandwiches and cakes. The service was excellent and we all loved the old fashioned feel of the place.

I'm a bit reluctant to praise the Westminster, as it might encourage others to go and when I want to get a table, it might be full!However, the food is great, the service is old fashionedly hap hazard-sometimes very good like last week-and sometimes a bit slow.The food is invariably excellent-try the breakfast omelette-or the variety of cakes. They have vegan options and gluten free options. Leave my table free!

Back again. Glad to see nothing as changed,Lovely surroundings, excellent food and wonderful service, ( letting you in to a little secret) I adore your waitress.

What a find!! There are so many gluten free options and the food was just delicious! I would highly recommend to any coeliacs. Service was wonderful and was like stepping back in time, great ambience.

More than just food this place is an experience. A special mention for the miniature Bain Marie dishes to keep your crumpets warm.

Went for lunch twice while in southport . Very good but a little on the expensive side. The soup was good, and sandwiches, Excellent tea, different varieties

If you don't like this place, then its time to give up. Breakfast was second to none, and a class up from the normal. The interior is from a time gone bye and gives you a real flavour of a bye gone era. Please don't change anything.

Came in today for Sunday lunch..beautiful surroundings. Excellent food and service exceptional even though very busy.waiter very polite and waitress very attentive and very funny. Enjoyed myself immensely, will be back.

This tea rooms has that traditional look with staff looking the part, makes you feel your back in the era of 50-60s which is great. This place has some very beautiful afternoon tea sets on the plater at good prices.My visit with the family we sat down to an 2 course experience. 2 of us had Welsh rarebit with bacon, very tasty and filling. Only thing I could be critical about that rarebit mix could be smoother and golden brown too, but was enjoyable. My partner had egg and ham which looked great with lovely homemade chips, mother in law had all day breakfast which was excellent. Good quality sausage and bacon made it. For afters we all had scones with the works fabulous indeed.Customer service side of the extra was slow, not much check backs to see if you were ok, tables left untidy and other customers not getting attention needed. There was a wait for menus too which I don’t understand. Yes the food was great but they are missing that personal touch to make this tea rooms great again.

Treated my girlfriend to afternoon tea at Westminster Tea Rooms. Beautiful interior with period features. Large menu with plenty on offer - breakfasts, sandwiches, soups or more hearty meals. Licensed to serve alcohol, although we didn’t have any. We both went for the Duchess afternoon tea (sandwiches, pastries, a scone and tea) for around £15 each. My girlfriend is gluten free and gluten free alternatives were provided for everything on offer - best gf scone she had ever had. All in all, a fantastic treat and great experience.

Beautiful 1920’s decor, old fashioned tea service, wonderful food. We had breakfast - the home cooked honeyed ham was amazing on the eggs benedict, the full English was excellent.

Four of us visited this restaurant last Sunday, three had Sunday lunch and one had a scampi meal, we all thought highly of the meals and the service was excellent.

This is a real old world experience with traditional food. Very freindly staff but service slow. Food was very good and meau varied. A truly british institute from a bygone era, a must for all.

Gracious setting , lovely friendly staff. Even though busy everything served beautifully and customers never rushed. Menu was very wide ranging and all meals served all day ie breakfast and afternoon tea which is a great idea and avoids disapointment,

Went today for Afternoon Tea and it was lovely, you had a choice of 4 sandwiches; scone with jam & cream; a selection of cakes and a pot of tea. Lovely crockery; silver teapots; milk jug etc. and the waitresses were dressed in black with white pinnies. Very friendly staff and the tea room was extremely busy but the service was good. I would recommend a visit and I will definitely return.

This is an absolutely wonderful spot for a traditional afternoon tea. Impeccable service, warm, friendly and attentive Lancashire hospitality in lovely surroundings. Generous tasty portions. Cash or cheque only. Worth the trip to Southport...don't miss the Atkinson museum, a short walk away.

From the moment you walk through the door you cant be help but be impressed. A ceiling draped with the chandeliers the pre war art decor look gives you a great feeling of nostalga. The staff were very polite and extremely well dressed in black and white. Their was a great menu to choose from to suit all tastes, including vegetarian dishes. However, i opted for my favourite Sunday roast, and it was amazing, more meat than I've ever seen on a plate before (good quality). The whole dining experience was nothing more that divine. For good measure we had breakfast the following day, and that was the same high quality.

My wife and I called here and had a afternoon tea, it was our 24th wedding anniversary the service was excellent,food was amazing,surroundings and ambience exceptional,a visit to here is a must,we will return on our next visit,many thanks.

Good home cooking. Vegan food was lovely, throughly recommend. Had lunch yesterday, triple sandwich avocado, homemade houmous and cheatin bacon which was delicious. Went back today for nutroast mash and veg with onion gravy all vegan delicious.

our third visit here and the food as always was excellent. we attended with a friend and also our young baby, who came quite fractious due to the long wait clearing the table between courses.....pudding was however worth the wait. sunday lunch is excellent. I'm veggie and the nut roast was great. my family and friend enjoyed the meat options and we all loved the organic wine and puddings. 4 stars this time due to service issues but we will return again for sure.

The Westminster Tea Rooms have more vegan options than most vegan restaurants, and the food is outstanding. I have been a few times with my partner and the food is incredible. They off so many things that it's actually quite overwhelming, with the Duchess afternoon tea option being the most extravagant. A full dessert menu with cakes, scones tarts and ice cream. Main meals like vegan shepherds pie and lasagna and a full sandwich menu. Just make sure that you are hungry because the portions are big!Everyone should try the lapsang souchong tea because they brew it perfectly.I love this place. Just make sure to take plenty of cash, as it's cash only and take the time to enjoy your afternoon there.

Can’t fault this lovely tea rooms, for a lunch or main meal, wheelchair friendly space to fold and store or use at the table. The Service and food brilliant. Gets busy but worth a wait unfortunately you can’t book a table and they don’t take card payments but certainly wouldn’t put me off going again.

After reading a few reviews on this place, I decided to take my Mother here for a Birthday treat. It was if we had stepped back in time. The service and food were excellent. The whole experience was most enjoyable. Would definately recommend a visit. Be warned though, they do not accept card payments, only cash or cheque.

A delightful Cafe with blissful Scones and an individual pot of Tea, jug of milk and separate pots of butter, jam and cream. Efficient staff, who were beautifully dressed, catered for our every need

Really nice place good food decor and service excellent everything to high standard one small fault needs tweaking when busy one toilet not enough especially if kitchen staff using it as well

Not been in for a few weeks been ill, My son took me today for father's day and I can't say how much I love this place, so much so I had to join the the real world by getting on the internet just to say how much.I enjoyed my food tremendously. Every mouthful melted in my mouth. The waiters were polite.and the waitress was very attentive, very funny sense of humour just what I needed after being ill.i haven't laughed like that for a long time.the place is a breath of fresh air.

The tea room was packed full....but we still received excellent meal and waiter serviceDelicate ( can’t say finger sounds carnivorous) sandwiches, fresh fruit tart, salad and scone . My favourite tea too...lapsong and earl grey.A very reliable venue for vegans too.

We stopped for lunch and had lovely roast chicken sandwiches with side salad and crisps. There is an extensive choice, lovely staff, very clean and friendly. We will return on our next visit to Southport.

These tea rooms are lovely as they let you enter a time gone by with wonderful cutlery and plates and waiters dressed in old fashioned tearoom uniforms. The food is delicious, with a great selection of home backed cakes and the choice of menu is extensive especially for vegetarians and vegans which is a great bonus. The staff are very attentive and the ambience is great.

I love this place it's old fashioned feel is so atmospheric the decor, the Crockery silver coffee and tea pots and most of all the music takes you back in time to the tea rooms of the early 20th century,it's so relaxing.Although we only had sandwiches for lunch they were lovely,fresh bread lots of filling and they have different blends of tea too including their own which was very nice,the staff are very friendly too all in all a lovely and tasty experience.It looks like they do a very nice afternoon tea too

Hi been in once before and experience a great meal. Lovely smiles from the waitress once again .decided to go in again on the same day of the week and once again greated very warmly.food wonderful. Staff wonderful, brilliant place to be. Will be back. Thank you very much.

Me and my husband visit twice in two days it’s that good first time we had cottage pie wonderful and the day after we had the Sunday dinner starter main and dessert everyone was delicious. You cups of tea come in gorgeous china cups and silver tea pots. The place is very clean and the staff are excellent.which we lived closer would be in as much as we could.

I last visited just under two years ago with my cousin and today I visited with my husband. He had a full English breakfast and I had ham eggs and chips. Both were very good. The staff were pleasant and helpful too. There are just a few things to point out , they didn't spoil the food but they did let the tea room down a little. There were several crumbs and a black mark on the table cloth - the main one and not the small square one that is replaced after each customer, there was quite a bit of dust on the shelving behind us. We couldn't help notice as we were looking around talking about the decor and there was a very odd smell in our drinking glasses. Nevertheless the food was good (hence the "very good" rating) and I liked the background music too.

My partner and I visited your tea rooms on Thursday 28 March for afternoon tea. I requested decaffeinated tea. When the tea was brought to our table I specifically checked with the waitress that the tea was decaff to which she said yes. It came to light that evening/night that the tea was most certainly NOT decaffeinated. I am particularly sensitive to caffeine and was awake literally all night. The next day was my birthday and this was spoiled as I felt terrible not having had a wink of sleep all night. I have twice contacted you via your website but have not had a response. You seem to pride yourselves for catering for allergies but you most certainly did not cater for mine! Fortunately my allergy is not life threatening (I’d dread to think what would have happened if it was!) but your lack of care in catering for allergies is extremely worrying to say the least!

The atmosphere in the Westminster tea rooms is calm. The staff are so helpful and never rush you. It's something you would find in a miss marple novel or even a Poirot novel. As you sit there eating one of their meals or afternoon tea (which is excellent by the way), your transported back to a forgotten time in which everything was different than today. I love this place and have been loads of times and would recommend it to anyone who wants to have a meal or a snack in a relatively quiet environment.

Scrambled tofu was amazing! The club sandwich was also very good, slightly under seasoned. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Tea was impressive, charming teapots, cups and cutlery. Great selection of vegan options, scones and cakes as well as the savoury stuff. It’s a nice calm setting, child family friendly, very quick service. Highly recommended!

Afternoon Tea ...Belated Mother’s Day treat for my mother... was hoping for something lovely & we got something very very special !Exquisite traditional setting with low playing period music in background with wonderfully friendly & traditionally dressed staff. A sumptuous selection of finger sandwiches alongside a selection of delectable mini fancies!!Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves... thank you Gabi / Margaret

Found this a few years back now and always return for lunch when in Southport. Service is second to none with all the quaintness of an old world tea room. We tend to go for a hot light lunch like poached eggs on toast with salad, always done beautiful, wish i could do poached eggs like that. You can have tea and cake if preferred in old chinaware. The only downside to this place is that they do not accept card payments no problem for us oldies who always carry a little cash but young ones could come unstuck if they order before they see the signs dotted around explaining the fact.

My fiancé and I popped in for a drink and cake. We both had Irish coffee which was delicious. We shared a carrot cake and Bakewell tart. Both were perfect and I’m picky! Presentation was great and the staff attentive and friendly.

I enjoyed a delicious, hearty breakfast. Sausages, poached egg (my egg of choice) beans, fried tomato, bacon and black pudding accompanied with a slice of thick sliced toast and butter. Delicious. Accompanied with a beautiful silver pot of leaf tea. A good start to the day. A very good menu. Wide selection of sandwiches and home made cakes. Staff very friendly and efficient. Fresh white damask table cloths. Fresh flowers on every table. Crystal chandeliers. A joy to dine here.

2nd visit here and did not disappoint. Some people complain but don't listen to them! Food is excellent fresh home cooking, everything from soups to roasts and afternoon teas looked amazing so will try next visit. I love love the rice pudding. Atmosphere is lovely with old fashioned clock chiming away and soft lighting and chandeliers. If you want relaxed courteous dining go here, if u want fast crap food go to Mcds. BTW only take cash or cheques but it does remind u on the door so shouldn't be a surprise. Will be back soon ❤️

Went in on Tuesday for something to eat was greated with a lovely smile by the waitress,every time the waitress came by she always smiled was very friendly and talkative,,,lovely. The food was divine.will be back for sure,.

Had a lovely lunch here with one of my besties. Really good varied menu with lots of different teas and artisan coffees available. I opted for a vegan main meal called The Greengrocer, which is a type of anti-pasta, my friend the salmon salad. Both meals were huge portions and totally delicious. After a good natter we then decided on some gluten free lemon drizzle cake, which was yummy. The Tea Rooms are in an art deco style with white tablecloths and everything is served on bone china. 1930’s style music plays in the background. The staff were very helpful, looking smart in their black and white uniforms and service was prompt. I would highly recommend this Tea Room for either breakfast, light bites, main meals or afternoon tea (they all looked delicious). A word of warning they don’t take bookings (so get there early) or cards, cash only.

Wonderful selection of sandwiches, cakes, scones and tea. Very informative staff, Naiomi was very friendly and gave lots of useful details. Thank you to all at Westminster tearooms for making the afternoon so special for us and especially mum.

Took our mother for afternoon tea as a treat for mother's day and were really glad we did. The service from Naomi was faultless and knowledgeable, whilst the food and drink was superb. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and will certainly be back!

Went with my good lady yesterday for her birthday,she has been before and describes your place as "the sort of restaurant that should be everywhere"My daughter and grandson love the place for its choice of vegetarian menus..on this subject I had never seen such a variety of meal-snack-sandwich choices,took me some while to choose..The meal I chose was a "Fishmonger" and it was superb,and it certainly filled my empty appetite spot...It does make a nice change to have Tea etc served in cups-saucers..the two young ladies serving were extremely pleasant and a credit to you drinks and meals came a lot quicker than expected...My wife chose the ham,eggs,chips meal...she really enjoyed it.there was no rush to get us out,so we took time for some nice conversation..couldn't fault the place,long may you continue ..regards Al. Nicol..

Called here on Sunday morning after a lot of walking for a cup of tea, immediately made to feel at ease. Lovely refreshing cup of tea served in silver teapot with strainer etc. will definately call again when back in Southport. Fantastic value too.
